Note to officials: It’s their way or the highway

Good evening! I am Abe Useme, president of Pueblo City Council, and on behalf of myself and my colleagues, welcome!

We normally would begin our agenda with a prayer or a silent moment of reflection, but a representative of Citizens United Against Godliness appeared before the council two weeks ago and said if we didn’t stop wishing the best for our city, the organization would immediately launch a recall effort against us.

Having said that, let’s move right to tonight’s agenda.

We have a resolution to increase the fine for illegally dumping personal trash in city receptacles, such as at City Park or other parks. Is there anyone here who would like to speak to this?
